Congradulations, it is a triple bloom.
I know that one as Black Currant Swirl- but I'm sure they're just different names for the same thing. Very pretty!

It's very pretty, what ever the name!!
Thanks, my first try, and she is still in a 10" pot. She has a total of 6 buds on her. I was surprised, especially since I planted the seeds indoors, didn't soak them, and put them under a plastic baggie and away they went. The one in full sun isnt' doing as well. This one gets light shade in the PM.
very pretty one ya got there, good job!
Spacecowgirl, Art_n_garden and Dee have the common name correct, but the scientific name is Datura Metel var. Fastuosa.
Thanks so much, I"m so excited. This is my first flower ever, wish they lasted longer. she needs to go into the ground, is she going to drop all of her buds if I move her now?
She shouldn't drop her buds, but if you transplant in the evening, the transplant shock will be less. Water the Datura with a few drops of Superthrive in the water afterwards, if you have it, to help alleviate transplant shock. This is an annual so, if you want to leave it in its container, it will still grow well.
I think I'll leave here where she's at. The ones in the ground are slower coming along, but still growing. I'm going to do the alfalfa pellet thing today and then throw some fertilizer in the beds where the datura are planted. Thanks for the advice guys.
Sooo pretty..I love purple!
